Summertime is in full swing and there are still a lot of vacations taking place before the children go back to school. Often times the vacations are not our own, but guests coming to visit us.

This was true for one of my clients, whose cousin came out to visit from South Carolina, with her nephew. And, in preparation for their visit, my client had me make sure the pool was safe, adjusting gate latches and repairing fencing. Her home has lake views, a covered patio and the feel of a vacation destination. Not to mention the wonderful attractions of the Bay Area.

Our neighbor, whose door is always open to visitors, is also ready for family visits with an innovative solution. He converted a bedroom to a combination craft and guest room. He built a fold out Murphy Bed and added counter space for all his wife’s crafts. Now she has the sacred space to do her handiwork and play her harp; as well as the multi-use room to welcome stay-over guests.

Let’s face it, quite often visiting guests are the reason and motivation for us to get our much needed home improvements and repairs done. Just like I helped my client with pool safety, I have helped many clients reorganize their homes to welcome visitors. From the addition of bedroom ceiling fans, to added shelving in closets, or rearrangement of furniture; there is a fix-it for everything.
